orasio Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 As the title say, what i have to edit to set fan speed on a fixed % (70 or 80%)? I have already tried in the thermal section of the bios without success, so i was asking to myself if someone has already done it. Is there someone who can share his knownedge ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuhair Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I haven't modded my BIOS yet but from what I can tell Lenovo has the fan speeds on lockdown. I didn't see anything about fan speeds in modded BIOS run through You could try the brown wire mod https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoMasterRace/comments/2jtuhy/y510p_actual_hardware_fan_mod_30f_under_load/ but that locks the fans at 100% Another option is running IdeaFan http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/7358-ideafan-y510p-y500-g500-y580-y410p.html which runs fans at 100% in intervals of 9s on 1s off Not sure if this is of any help but it's all I know as far as fan control goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orasio Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 the problem with ideaFan is that it works only under Windows. I need to unlock fan speed under Debian (Linux). So i thought the only way to do what i was trying to do, was only via Bios setting. Cut the brown wire is not a good choise because fans will always run at 100% speed and, ignoring the noise, will short the fan life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuhair Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If that's the case then you might be out of luck. From what I know fan control is locked in the EC and no one has been able to do anything with that apart from tweaking the dust removal functions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
